I don't know anything about Mike Doughty, and I never even heard of him until yesterday, when I heard this song on the radio (the "real" studio version, of course) for the first time. It's awesome! Catchiest new song I've heard in the last year. How can anyone NOT like it?! Cool guitar work, catchy chord pattern, wry and funny lyrics, and his what-the-hell vocal style exactly fits the mood of the song. Nice!
I don't know the whole logistics of record deals and who's on what labels anyways. I'm glad to hear his music will reach more people tho...rightfully so the guy is good, real good...Oh and sorry for spelling his name wrong Doughty I have a friend named Doty who spells it like that...Doty...Peace out
I like MIke Doty alot always have. Miss Soul Coughing. They broke up when I was still in highschool I think '98??... Or maybe after that. I saw them live back when I was in Highschool. They did the song Soft Serve from their Irresistable Bliss. Probably one of the best live songs I've ever heard. I think he signed on with Dave Mathews. That's a shame.
Easy there killa...I'm not too cool for anything...No doubt Im all for the music...obviously you're a little more informed than I am so thank you for enlightening me...I only heard part of the story ...and all I remember was hearing Mike Doty and Dave Mathews in the same sentence and it made me cringe. My comments and more or less inquiries not to be taken so seriously just with a grain of salt.
I love Jennifers, they're some of my favorite of all the womens. This song is missing something though... like that phat upright bass and drums... but don't mention that to Mike or he'll get pissy on you...
How soul coughing was ever popular was beyond me at the time and there's a million better song writers and performers than M. Doughty. I do like American Car, but damn... run of the mill stuff M-dawgy.
Dig the tune. Dig Mike. I think the cello is a miss. Sure, it sounds OK, and it's a bit of a novelty, but this would have sounded better with a real bass register or as a solo singer w/guitar. Speaking of which, the tone on that guitar was so tinny! Maybe it was the mic but the vocals sounded great. Performance win, gear fail.
A paragon of musicianship? That claim implies that you have not been exposed to much quality music. His guitar style, at least in this video, is rudimentary and less than innovative. Seriously, I'm not just trying to be an asshole hater but a paragon of musicianship? That is a mighty bold claim for such a straightforward and strummy piece of music. Look up Dave and Tim at Radio City Music Hall and you'll get yourself some "paragon of musicianship."

Great song and I fancy the acoustic version. Very soulful.

Are you a jenn or a jenny?
It’s either Jennifer…..Jenny…..or just Jen……. That’s it…..
I miss Soul Coughing.

I like Soul Coughing much more than I like Doughty's solo stuff.
Its become such elavator music.
I’m always confused when people say stuff like that. You DO know he wrote ALL the soul coughing songs too, right? 🙄
